He survived and faces another spell in the top flight, but he had better be warned because the Premiership is going to be a LOT stronger this coming season that it was last term.
He has had his say, questioning the strength of Newcastle and West Brom, but personally I think he is shitting his pants!
Man-for-man Newcastle's squad is FAR stronger than Wolves ... and I get the feeling McCarthy knows it.
Mick McCarthy: “On the face of it you probably think it will be a stronger division, but both of those clubs (Newcastle and Albion) went down.
“They’ve come up comfortably, now how will they strengthen?
“I can’t remember anyone saying at the start of last season that Burnley or Hull were a soft touch, and we know Portsmouth weren’t because they beat us twice.
“I guess people will look at Newcastle ‘the club’ and think it will make it tougher, but I don’t subscribe to that.
“Burnley at the start of last season looked like they’d do what Hull did the season before and be comfortable midway through.
“I hope those two promoted clubs don’t make it any harder anyway, let’s put it that way!”
